Most buyers of existing homes just have to open their newspapers to see literally hundreds of houses for sale. They can choose from an almost unlimited number of styles, sizes, price ranges, and locations. There are, however, certain niche markets that appeal to only a small number of buyers. Marketing to those buyers requires special techniques. One such subgroup is the nudist/clothing optional home buyer. When you are looking for a house in a nudist/clothing optional community there are only a limited number of properties available – and they are usually located hundreds or thousands of miles away from home.

How, then, does a potential buyer from Ohio or Wisconsin find an appropriate property to buy? Many nudists/naturists belong to one or more of the national and international organizations that promote nude living and recreation. In the publications that these organizations distribute, houses for sale are often listed in the classified advertising section. The trouble is, a person in Idaho or Oregon cannot tell the difference between various properties that are for sale. The ads all sound the same and all claim to be in the best location in the community. There is no way to verify the claims made in the ads except by making an on-site visit. Although an on-site inspection should always be made, it should not be the first step in the home buying process. Doing so would be prohibitively costly.

There are real estate agents who specialize in this niche market, but they usually have more than one listing at a time. Descriptions given over the phone or via e-mailed photos often create confusion, since the buyer is told about several houses at the same time.

How then does a seller make sure that his house is the one on which an offer will be made? The best way is to have a virtual tour of the property that shows and tells the benefits. Agent websites have multiple properties listed. If a seller refers a potential client to an agent’s website, he might be helping the agent to sell a competing property. A seller needs a place where only his property is showcased. Although this has been available for some time to “textile” home sellers, nothing comparable existed for the nudist/clothing optional seller.

A national organization, ZIZZIT, has introduced a special division just to help the nudist/clothing optional home seller. The specialized techniques and extraordinary privacy that they provide help the nudist/clothing optional home seller sell his or her home quickly and for the highest possible price.

While foreclosure rates are falling, there are still some areas in the nation with pretty high foreclosure rates. Like most areas, the foreclosures in these states are mostly holding steady and some are even in decline. Read on for some states that are still stuck with the highest foreclosure rates in the nation.

1. Nevada

Nevada tops the nation’s foreclosure rate listing as it has been for over 40 months. Currently, many of the foreclosures in Nevada are coming out of the Las Vegas metro area, with a rate of over 12%. Taken as a whole, the state of Nevada has 16,217 foreclosures. This means that one in every 69 Nevada homes is in foreclosure.

2. Arizona

Arizona comes in with the second highest foreclosure rate in the country, coming in with 16,088 homes in foreclosure. Like Nevada and Las Vegas, the Phoenix area accounts for many of the homes being foreclosed in Arizona. While the total may seem low, when taken with Arizona’s population 1 in 169 houses are being lost.

3. Florida

Florida has a few more metro areas than Arizona and Nevada, so the foreclosure rate of 48,384 accounts for a smaller rate than Nevada or Arizona when compared to the general population. Overall, 1 in 181 Florida homes has been lost to foreclosure as of April 2010.

4. California

California has been near the front of the foreclosure crisis for quite some time, with an artificially high cost of housing in metro areas that was set up to fall hard when it fell. There are currently over 69 thousand foreclosed properties in California, creating a rate of 1 in 192 housing units lost.

5. Utah

Utah only has 4,266 homes facing a foreclosure, which seems tiny compared to some of the larger states listed above. However, due to Utah’s small overall population, that small number translates into a much larger rate of 1 in every 221 homes being foreclosed.

6. Idaho

Like Utah, the raw number of foreclosures in Idaho is a relatively small 2,833 as of April 2010. The small Idaho population means this number ends up meaning 1 in every 226 homes is currently in foreclosure.

7. Michigan

With the notoriously problematic Detroit housing market, it is not surprising to see Michigan end up as one of the top ten state foreclosure rates. Michigan has over 19 thousand homes facing foreclosure, which equals out to a rate of 1 in every 236 properties.

8. Illinois

The past strength of the Chicago housing market has suffered enough during the foreclosure crisis to land Illinois in the top ten states facing high rates. Illinois has 18,870 properties facing foreclosure as of April 2010, creating a rate of 1 in every 279 homes.

9. Georgia

Georgia is facing a foreclosure rate of 1 in every 288 homes, creating almost 14,000 foreclosed homes and earning the state a place in the top ten. Like the problems other states on this list have with major metropolitan areas, Georgia’s foreclosure issues are mainly situated in Atlanta.

10. Colorado

Colorado has a total of 6,382 homes facing foreclosure as of April 2010. While the overall number may seem small, the actual rate of properties facing foreclosure in the Colorado area still comes in at 1 in 337.

• Are your home utility bills high while your desired comfort level is low?
• Is your home very hot during the San Antonio summers and colder than you’d like in the winter?
• Is your home hot and stuffy, even when the AC unit is running?
• Have you thought, “How can I make my home more energy efficient and comfortable without spending an arm and a leg?”
• Are you ready to do your part to help conserve our energy resources?

When considering San Antonio energy efficiency home improvements, it is important to consider all aspects of your decision. Each home is unique and so are its energy efficiency problems. A visual and personal energy audit by a home inspector is a good way to get a thorough analysis on the overall efficiency and functionality of the energy consuming features in your home. A personal home audit will identify underperforming areas to show where cost effective improvements can be made to lower those utility bills, and increase your comfort, health, and safety.

Facts about San Antonio Energy Efficiency:

1. San Antonio area weather (especially in the summer) is extremely hot! The average high during the summer is 95 degrees, and can reach well over 100 degrees for weeks at a time. Meanwhile, the average winter low is 39 degrees, which may not seem very low for Northerners, but this is freezing for South Texans. What does this mean? You need solid energy-efficient systems in your home year-round to keep you comfortable without breaking the bank.
2. Texas is responsible for 3/10′s of U.S. total natural gas production. The average price of natural gas in the San Antonio area is approximately $8.80 per thousand cubic feet, which is $1.80 less than the national average.
3. San Antonio residents pay around $0.01 per kilowatt-hour, which is a little more than the national average for electricity from utilities like CPS Energy.
4. What do facts #2 and #3 mean? Although San Antonio energy costs in general are less than the national average, we are paying more than the average national consumer; when there is one main energy provider in the area (CPS), they can get away with this. This is another reason to seriously consider San Antonio energy savings by making your home more energy efficient.
5. The average San Antonio home is 25-30 years old. Typically, any home more than 5-10 years old can seriously benefit from energy efficiency upgrades, like energy saving heating and cooling equipment, attic insulation, and window film or screens.

A Few Solutions for Making Your San Antonio Home More Efficient and Comfortable

San Antonio Energy Efficient Radiant Barrier

Radiant barrier is a reflective foil insulation system that is placed in an air space to block heat transfer and is a permanent way to reduce energy costs. Radiant barrier reflects radiant heat energy instead of absorbing it and is also unaffected by humidity. It will continue to perform at a consistent level no matter how hot or humid it may be, thus saving energy and money all year long!

During the hot South Texas summers, Radiant Barrier blocks up to 97% of the sun’s radiant heat from being transferred into your structure.

During the cold winter, Radiant Barrier keeps heat from escaping your structure by reflecting up to 97% of the radiant heat back in, thus requiring less work by your air conditioning system.

San Antonio Energy Efficient Window Solar Film

Window films help your home, office, or building with heat, glare, and fade issues, as well as helping to lower monthly utility expenses. In addition, security films help hold shattered glass in place to better protect your property in the case of severe weather or attempted vandalism. A good window film deflects the sun’s rays and keeps the heat out during the hot summers and will also reflect heat in to your home during the winter, saving BIG money on energy costs.

Federal Tax Credits For San Antonio Energy Efficient Window Film:
On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009< which extended energy efficiency tax credits through 2010. Under the extension, individuals purchasing qualifying window films from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2010 may be eligible for a tax credit under Section 25C of the Internal Revenue Code.

Through the end of 2010, the IRS will allow homeowners to take a tax credit of 30% of the cost of solar control window film installed in their primary residence, with a lifetime maximum credit of $1,500 per taxpayer.
The tax credit is a direct dollar for dollar credit, or reduction, in the amount of taxes you must pay, not just a tax deduction from income. The cost of the film itself, not the installation cost, qualifies for this credit so long as it is installed before December 31, 2010.

San Antonio Energy Efficient Sun Screens

Sun Screens block 90% of sunlight and heat which makes up approximately 45% of the heat gain in your home or business.
Sun Screens can make windows up to 15% more efficient in cold months by creating a third layer of insulation for double pane windows.
Heat from the sun’s rays are absorbed by the open weave design of the screen fabric and then dissipated through the small holes in the mesh. The heat is deflected before it even reaches the glass.

Home Energy Efficiency Audits in San Antonio

When you decide to have a home energy efficiency audit, it is important that the professional auditors make the energy efficiency upgrades easy to understand and take the utmost care in performing the evaluation. A home energy audit will also give you valuable details on rebates and tax credits available from San Antonio utility companies and the government on recommended products.

American Energy Saving Products offers energy efficiency solutions in San Antonio and the surrounding areas. Our San Antonio energy efficiency consultants offer a wealth of experience and expertise to give you the valued information and cost-effective recommendations you need to maximize energy efficiency and lowering utility bills.
